# Video Studio

> Edit video on a timeline: cut pauses, add captions, cut to the beat, reformat for each platform, and export to your Library.

**Video Studio** is Continuum's video editor. Turn raw footage into cuts for social — trim pauses, add captions and music, cut to the beat, and reformat for Reels, TikTok, or Shorts.

## Open Video Studio

* From the [Library](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/library.md): select a video and choose **Edit video** or **Edit in timeline**, or start a **New edit**.
* From the canvas: open a [Video Editor node](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/nodes/video.md).

## The workspace

| Area | Tabs |
| - | - |
| **Left panel** | **Media**, **Text**, **Graph**, **Generate** |
| **Right panel** | **Inspector**, **Agent** |

## Quick edits

| Edit | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Cut pauses** | Removes silences. |
| **Auto-captions** | Adds captions from the speech. |
| **Detect beats** | Finds the beats in the music. |
| **Cut on beat** | Cuts the edit to the beat. |

Music beds are available too. Generated voiceovers and music use Canvas credits; see [Providers and rates](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/providers-and-rates.md#voiceovers-and-music).

## Editing

The timeline supports **Split at playhead**, trimming the start or end to the playhead, **Ripple delete**, copy, paste, and duplicate, markers, and undo and redo. You can also:

* **First cut from a brief…** — describe the edit and get a first cut, with variants.
* **Ask the agent** — make changes in plain language.
* **Generate media** — create new footage or stills for the edit.

## Formats

Reformat for **TikTok**, **Instagram Reels**, **YouTube Shorts**, **YouTube**, **Feed 1:1**, or **Feed 4:5**.

## Export

Choose **Export…** to render an H.264 MP4. It's saved to your Library, with **Download MP4** and **Open in Library** when it's done.

## Try it

Ask Claude or ChatGPT:

* "Cut the pauses from my latest video and add captions."
* "Cut it to the beat of the music."
* "Reformat it for Reels and save it to the Library."
* "Undo that last change."

Every change shows up live in Video Studio, and every edit is saved as a version you can undo. See [Edit video](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/mcp/use-cases/video.md).

## What's next

* [Video nodes](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/nodes/video.md): Generate and extend footage on the canvas.
* [Library](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/library.md): Where exports land.
